I understand what you say. I have just been wrong so many times in moving money in and out of various stocks that I have instead consolidated into 6 (brcm, pmcs, jdsu, ntap, sdli, sunw) and just ride it out. Ken

My guess is Broadcom will split in February, like it has the past two years. Perhaps a 3:1 when it is in the $300 range? Then, future 2:1 splits when it gets near $150? I don't see too many companies repeatedly going up to $300 and splitting. FWIW - I had 10 shares of both Intel and Microsoft in 1987, right before the crash. Had to sell them, though, to make ends meet. I would have had 480 shares of INTC now worth around $32k. My 720 shares of MSFT would be worth around $48k. Each on an initial investment of $1k. I'm not crying over spilt milk. Just hoping BRCM will go through a couple more splits so I can get my mortgage paid off... Wal-Mart used to split every time it got to $50. Had quite a few splits over the past 25 years, too. (Nine 2-for-1's) By the way, if you're not buying BRCM, which stocks are you buying?
